Cardenden Domestic Abuser Narcissistic Abuser
A man faces a final chance to avoid jail after neglecting to adhere to a community payback requirement.
Shane Easson claimed that financial concerns had led to his absence from scheduled social work meetings.
The 21-year-old, from Carden Castle Park in Cardenden, appeared before Dunfermline Sheriff Court for a case review.
He had earlier admitted to a behavior on February 19, 2017, at Carden Avenue that was threatening or abusive enough to cause reasonable fear or alarm by shouting, swearing, and threatening to damage a vehicle belonging to his ex-partner.
His lawyer, Gwen Haggerty, explained: "He believes it’s his duty to financially support his family, but he recognizes that the court has limited options available."
She added: "He told me he preferred to continue with the community order rather than face prison, after being informed of his two choices."
Sheriff Charles Macnair remarked: "The community order was meant to be a priority when it was issued. Continuing down this path will lead to jail."
Nevertheless, he indicated he was willing to give Easson another chance, stating: "I am willing to offer you another opportunity. You will be re-evaluated in three months, and I want to receive a favorable report."
The court set the next review for April 18.
